Join a round. Redneck is talking strats. Eurobro is asking what everyone is drinking. Cartman is ranting about something. Morale improves as Rick Astley serenades the troops. Get hit by a stray musketball (pretty sure they were aiming at Cartman).
10/10 historical experience. Just like Napoleon would've wanted it.

It's a game for gentlemen scoundrels, and manbaby trolls in equal measure. You can be charging into a gripping fight with shouts of huzzah one moment, images of Frederick the Great and Nelson in mind, when suddenly a squad of Frenchmen charges in, somehow killing 3:1 thereby breaking your line-- all this while playing Euro-trash techno with unintelligible internet memes mixed in. It's a unique experience, and one no other game has given me.

I'm not very involved in the Holdfast community, but this game is still great for casual, irreverent multiplayer fun. There are organized line battles and community events for people who want that, but I've gotten more than enough bang for my buck so idgaf. Definitely worth a buy on sale.

When you start this game, you usually find yourself exclusively with just two servers, but they're almost always full.
No one takes this game very seriously, but there are private servers where they do. However, it's clear that its community is deeply united and doesn't play to give their all (although, interestingly, they still strive to win), but rather to have a relaxed time and kill each other while chilling: there's disorder, chaos, senseless shouting, people playing music (all of which can be muted, by the way), but with all of that always in a playful and fun atmosphere.
Honestly, this game is what you see online. It's what I expected. Its community, though small, is incredibly friendly and fun. I'm very grateful for the game. The developers clearly understand their audience, and their audience understands the developers.
